After the Kansas City Royals dropped game one of the three-game weekend road series against the Baltimore Orioles, they would inevitably have to regroup if they hoped to have a chance to win their fourth consecutive series and avoid their first losing streak since that dreaded six-game slide from April 14 to 19.
But the Royals may have another problem to deal with in their quest to immediately back in the win column, as the Baltimore weather is certainly having it's say of how Saturday's game will unfold, leaving Kansas City's chance at redemption somewhat up in the air at the moment.
**Update 7:12 PM CT**
Good news Royals fans, it looks like we'll have a game after all! The Orioles announced that play is set to resume at approximately 7:25 p.m. CT.

The Baltimore area is still under a severe thunderstorm watch so we'll see if these two squads are able to get through this game without another interruption.
KC Royals vs. Baltimore Orioles Rain Delay: Start Time, Full Details, Updates
The Royals and Orioles were able to get through the first inning of this game with both Kris Bubic and Tomoyuki Sugano both putting up zeroes to start this one.
With storms in the forecast all day, the fact this game was able to get underway was a step in the right direction. But as the saying goes two steps forward, one step back, as that aforementioned Baltimore weather has played a factor after all with Camden Yards currently stuck in the midst of a thunderstorm, meaning the Royals now find themselves in the midst of their second rain delay of the season.
The area is under a severe thunderstorm watch, with rain currently forecasted over the 50% chance mark through 8 p.m. CT this evening.
The field is currently tarped and the Orioles made the official announcement that this game is under rain delay, but have not indicated if or when the contest will resume tonight, simply saying that they "will update with more information as it becomes available".
We have entered a rain delay here at The Yard.
